New provings
Gnaphalium leontopodium
Requests: If you need specific information on this remedy - e.g. a proving or a case info on toxicology or whatsoever, please post a message in the Request area www.homeovision.org/forum/ so that all users may contribute.
Uta Santos, Austria
Remedy unknown to prover
Remedia (A)
Description of the substance
A homeopathic drug proving- now termed a homeopathic pathogenetic trial- of GNAPHALIUM LEONTOPODIUM
Eine homoeopathische Arzneimittelprüfung von Gnaphalium leontopodium, dem Edelweiss
Uta Santos
ENGLISH and GERMAN
Leontopodium alpinum, Edelweiss
Holidaying in the Alps means coming across the plant - in a variety of ways- which since the 19th century has become a symbol for the Alps!
On postcards, leather trousers, drawings, in operettas, essays or poems, but rarely in its natural setting: nothing is more symbolic for the Alps than the "Edelweiss".
So Austrian homeopaths wondered what might possibly be the image of such a locally well-known plant, which is so commonly and frequently used as a symbol, if this plant were taken for a proving?
As the distinction of "big" and "small" remedies is obviously outdated and the word "poly" from polychrests nowadays only means the frequency of a prescription and NOT the frequency of successful prescriptions, and since it is apparent that with the so- called small remedies we can achieve great results — thereby revealing long-lasting myths -- how then can we make sure not to create new myths? What is it that generally shows in proving?
Might it be the chemical-toxicological existence of the substance, independent of its geographic or cultural contexts.
Do similar or very different symptoms arise, if Austrians prove the Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) grown on Austrian ground, compared to a Ukrainian prover who proves the Edelweiss grown on Ukrainian ground? Does a specific cultural opinion on a substance enter into the proving, even if this opinion is only 200 years old as is the case in Leontopodium?
Are age-old remedies such as Equisetum, Lycopodium or Tyrannosaurus Rex homeopathically more important, merely because over the thousands of years, they they have become archetypically set, or can 200 years of cultural history, as in the case of the Edelweiss, be as important, because their items/topics (?) are possibly more current? Is Leontopodium - botanically one of the compositae - a homeopathic "family member" of the compositae due to the items/topics belonging to this group or does it differ completely from Arnica, Calendula or Bellis perennis?
I asked myself these questions, when I supervised the proving with a group of students at the University of Vienna. They did not know the remedy (but in this proving I did). Here are the results.
In the proving group there were 10 females and 3 males. They took the remedy daily in C 30 potency until symptoms occurred.
Some general information about the plant:
As stated above, leontopodium is one of approximately 20.000 existing species of the compositae. This group is homeopathically well- known. Besides those mentioned above there are millefolium, taraxacum, heliantus or chamomille and gnaphalium, which is the most similar to leontopodium.
The group of leontopodium comprises 30 to 40 species, which mainly exist in the high mountain regions, its origin is probably the south- west of China, it is quite common in Siberia, Afghanistan, Europe (in the Carpathian Mountains, the Alps and the Pyrenees).
It grows on dry, chalky clay or on stony grounds, in well-lighted places; they it prefers the heights between 1700 and 3400 meters. It grows in worts producing up to 50 flowers each. The flower itself is surrounded by thick tomentose hypsophylls creating the "stars" , typical of leontopodium.
Chemically it contains tannin, which might have lead to the traditional use for diarrhea, furthermore polyacethylene and pyrrolizidine- alcaloids. In the Alps, people used this plant as one of the sacred (nine) herbal charm and against ghosts.
Edelweiss often grows in stony places, hardly accessible and demands boldness of the collector, physical flexibility and endurance. It is therefore the image for these attributes and in myths and legends it is the sign of love and the proof of the bold hero's love, who offers this flower to his beloved as the token of his love.
Summary of the most important symptoms
Especially the ones, which came up in several provers or which were very dominant in individual provers:
The main areas of the physical symptomatology were the extremities, walking, movements and actions, and the stomach.
One female prover writes:
Burning stomach pain lasting for one month, much flatulence, re-occurring sensation of bloating and pressure in the bowels. In one place in the stomach, located under the xyphoid, there is a sensation of heat. All the time I feel bloated like a balloon, the colon is filled so much with gas that the diaphragm is pushed upwards thereby causing a strong pain in stomach.
In addition severe constipation, bowel motion every 3 days, clay-colored and sheep-dung like. I feel the urge more often, but the stool does not pass. General amelioration by eating, warm food is better than cold food. Amelioration by sitting bent and exercising pressure on stomach, by resting (after sleep) and warmth, agg. by tight clothes, after eating raw vegetables and from coffee or alcohol.
After a month, she takes Arnica D 12 three times a day, quick amelioration of all symptoms and very soon no more complaints. (It is interesting that Arnica as a well- known Compositae with a clear symptomatology in the region of the stomach could obviously be used efficiently as an antidote in this case).
In the area of the extremities:
Restlessness amel. by motion, mentally and physically. Paralysis of left arm, this also occurred as a physical symptom as in a dream. Standing erect and looking amel. stiffness, tenseness, due to these two phenomena, looking aside was impossible.
Clenched teeth, grinding of teeth, pressure as if lock-jawed (physically as well as in a dream)
Inner pressure
External pressure agg.
Any touch is painful, oversensitive towards being touched, oversensitive to pain.
Back, coccyx: feeling of fragility
Sensitive to cold
Sexual desire increased
Weakness of memory
Taste and smell of sulfur and garlic
As in all my provings, I am especially interested in the dreams, which allow a beautiful insight into the soul's topics related to the remedy. So I will mention parts of the dreams of the provers in their own words, hoping thereby to create an impression of the whole picture which arises from this plant.
It has to be mentioned that the dreams have been discussed with the provers to exclude individual opinions of general phenomena of single elements in the dreams.
I am walking in a street and suddenly I realize that I am full of blood up to the navel and up my back to the same height. I become weaker and weaker, I walk to the hospital. A young doctor and a female doctor take care of me.
Comment: I wake up in the middle of the night with the sensation that my coccyx is brittle. When awake, a slight sore pain there.
Here we meet the topic of injury in the Compositae, the location of the injury seems to be the coccyx, a structure at the base of our physical body. The prover associated this with: the place where in animals there is the tail.
The same prover has another dream:
Of a black, bull-like dog that looks really dangerous. There is the uncertainty of whether he will attack me or whether I will escape. When he comes closer, my emotions change and I realize that he has a kind of erotic relation with me.
Next day:
Again a dream of a black dog, this time he has longer hair. He is not as dangerous as the one the day before, he is approaching me and he is friendly. It is unbelievable: it has never happened before, 2 days later I dream about the same bull-like black dog, which I don't know in reality. Again I feel a similar sensation. First a kind of thrill, is he dangerous? And then the erotic sensation while he approaches me!
Due to the repetition here the dreamer meets the dog in an impressing and unavoidable way as a libidiual masculine symbol. The color black underlines the dangerous aspect, and black stands also for the dark that has not yet been touched by any light of consciousness, so this quality has to be looked at as one that has not yet been integrated.
A male prover dreams:
I am walking on a meadow high up in the mountains above the timber line. It must be early mountain summer, around me there are a few snow fields, the grass looks as though it has recently been cleared of snow, the grass is yellow and flat, where shortly before the snow has melted. There is a strong, cold adverse wind , I am bent over, forcing myself against the wind whirling stones from the ground and I am afraid of them hitting me on my head or in my face, so I close my eyes firmly, lower my face and with a lot of effort I walk ahead against the wind. I think that it is unsportsmanlike if I were to put my hands in front of my face for protection.
Comment of the prover:
There seems to be a rule that no one should protect oneself, no one should see how weak I feel. The potentially spirited and live entity is still reduced after the winter has gone and had pressed it down with the cold, white snow.
I feel as if I had been hit by a blow, "please don't touch", the jar of a soft touch could cause severe pain.
Here also the extreme vulnerability of a Compositae.
Dream of another female prover, her only dream under the remedy:
I am ascending a staircase made of glass, I am wearing white moon-boots and from below, people, who I don't know or cannot remember, are staring at me.
Dream of a male prover:
I am taking an escalator in a little house, exit it and enter another one, which is quite large and which seems to be a classroom. I feel that something is not okay and realize that this escalator is not only ascending but is also moving high above the houses. I manage to exit and realize suddenly that this escalator is hanging on a thick rope and is falling down from high up. (The escalator is no longer inside a building! It is falling freely in the air). I run away, as it is about to fall directly onto me, but somehow a kind of umbrella opens (it looks like a palm made of linen) and slowly the escalator sinks to the ground.
In an escalator, a part of a building that more or less offers safety inside a house, something threatening comes up. The association with "classroom" is that there the unformed are formed, tamed, become "socially acceptable"; high up and falling deeply are the 2 movements in the dream.
A last dream, in a metaphorical language typical for this plant:
I am walking about in an hotel, I am looking for my husband, who wanted to enjoy a hot bath somewhere in the hotel. I am wearing Jeans, a T-shirt and I am carrying a brief case with me. Downstairs there are swinging doors in wooden frames and milk glass or frosted glass. Steam is coming towards me. All the guests are wearing towels and are hanging at the side of the doors as if wrapped in white plastic/ synthetics. Staff is running around and is handing out rose-colored pieces of soap. One of them is soaping the guests' faces. I find my husband at the end of an aisle, he also is wrapped in a white bath towel. He is being pursued by someone and wants to get away from there. We flee along aisles, dark aisles in this otherwise white house and we end up in the office section. We hear voices calling and hide in the dark behind the door of a cabinet in the nearest office. A person in a business-suit enters and switches on the light. We are shocked, the office is ravaged and on the floor there are shapes of human beings, who have already been carried away.
With my husband on an island with wild cliffs and an amazing, beautiful coast, fog is lifting, the sun shines on and reflects from a blue-green ocean. Feeling of freedom…
Here also we see the contrasts:
The white, clean-soaped figures enclosed in plastic/synthetics wrapping and the dark aisles…
Light (in the sense of enlightening, perspective, clarity) focuses on something, which was formerly alive (the dead ones who have been carried away), who have met their death in a place of bureaucracy, of formalism… contrary to the hotel, then this amazing, beautiful nature, where fog is lifting and clarity and foresight comes up…
Again and again the color white appears in the dreams, which Aeppli, a Jungian analyst, explains as follows: "White is not yet a color, it is purity beyond life, is a demand to be dissolved into its spectral colors, the colors of the vivid life".
In fact, again and again a kind of non-vitality appears, a white, which is cold, sterile, without life and constraining.
This constraint, stiffness, paralysis and threat probably are related to public places, which are under social rules like the classroom, the hotel, the office, while nature means freedom.
Ascending is threatening, be it on the narrow glass catwalk (the dream with the white moon- boots), on which every step is followed by the anonymous viewers, or be it in the escalator, which is threatened by social descent, the free fall, or be it the mountain heights, where a cold adverse wind obstructs walking forward and one is not allowed to protect oneself.
Originally authentic feelings and instincts are suppressed and are even more predominant in a dark and threatening way. (I mentioned only the dreams about the dogs of the one female prover, there have been more on this topic).
If I dare come up with a summary and a hypothesis, I do this of course with all necessary reservations for as long as there are no well- observed, long—term cases of patients under treatment solely with Leontopodium. It seems certain to me that Leontopodium has clear aspects of the Compositae:
The oversensitivity and vulnerability, physically as well as mentally and also in the dreams, is very obvious.
Gnaphalium, which is botanically the most similar, has its center of gravity (concerning its symptoms) also in the area of extremities, and Arnica as a potent antidote of these long-lasting, strong and extremely uncomfortable proving -symptoms also shows strong resonance with Leontopodium.
As a special topic of Leontopodium I assume that the patient would feel weak and insecure, especially in a socially highly normative context, where you have to behave differently than your own feelings and impulses tell you and you are constantly threatened to be blown down by a social cross- current "wind from the front-side" (gesellschaftl. Gegenwind).
Harsh socialization with the center of gravity of what "ONE DOES" leads to an early suppression of one's own emotions and instincts, which might lead to the behaviour that accepts external rules as a yard-stick in every situation of life and that the person is not used to follow his own findings any more, even if these seem adequate and in tune with his own inner voice.
As a metaphor the image comes to mind of the hero, who risks death to pick the Edelweiss from the highest rocky mountains as a proof of his love for his beloved who herself not only agrees to his high risk, she maybe even expects or demands it, as she measures the love she receives from her admirer by his extraordinary gift. She lacks the sense necessary to realize emotions in the very immediate encounter.
"if he risks his life, he probably loves me, how else could I know it , and if he dies due to this, he dies as a noble, white, pure hero and his death raises me as a white widowed virgin, untouchable, spending a lifetime in a cold, glass coffin.
The opposition of nature and culture, of emotion and instinct on the one hand, and the social taming on the other hand seem to be a conflict; conscious of its own lack of protection, Lentopodium compensates by submission under a cold, non-vivacious entity, which knows only itself as white and the other as black, where everything alive is shattered as if on a rock face.
Some questions, which I placed in the beginning, remain unanswered. I suggested without any response so far to prove Leontopodium in another cultural context. Unfortunately, this was not yet possible, but maybe there is someone among the audience / the readers, who is interested in arranging a second proving.
I am very grateful for every kind of feed-back, when you prescribe Leontopodium, and I would be very happy if after reading this article you should want to try this remedy.
Our Lentopodium was potentized by Robert Münz, Remedia Pharmacy, Austria, where this remedy can be obtained.

Convicted murderer Scott Cox violates his post-prison supervision
Scott Cox brought contraband into jail, authorities say
Aug 27, 2013 | 1 Comment
By Paul Daquilante
Of the News-Register
Former long-haul trucker Scott William Cox, who was released to Yamhill County Community Corrections last February after serving a 25-year prison sentence for murdering two Portland prostitutes in September 1993, has repeatedly violated conditions of his post-prison supervision
Under post-prison supervision, the 49-year-old Cox has been living in subsidized county jail housing. He has been returned to secure custody with bail set at $10,000.
Cox first received a 14-day jail sanction in mid-July, according to Capt. Tim Svenson of the sheriff's office.
"He received permission to go to the beach," Svenson said. "He took a route that was longer than his approved route which was confirmed by the GPS tracking device he was wearing."
Cox was again charged last Thursday with violating his post-prison supervision for having contact with minor children, according to Svenson.
"He has a girlfriend he visits in the Sheridan area," he said. "Community Corrections received information from our office that he possibly had contact with her minor children while she was present."
The GPS tracker confirmed he had visited the residence and his girlfriend admitted he had been there, according to Svenson.
After being returned to the jail on that violation, he was found to be in possession of a tobacco product, and was charged with supplying contraband, Svenson said.
"The supplying contraband charge relates to introducing anything from a can of tobacco to cigarettes to drugs, anything an inmate is not allowed to have in the facility," he said.
Cox was arraigned Monday before Circuit Court Judge Cal Tichenor on the charge. Bail was set and he was ordered back to court at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3 for a preliminary hearing on the Class C felony charge. McMinnville attorney Greg Perez-Selsky was appointed to represent him.
With good time credit, he had completed his 25-year prison sentence. Because he had been staying at a Newberg motel at the time of his arrest, officials ordered him to begin his post-prison supervision in Yamhill County, rejecting his preference for Douglas County in Southern Oregon.
Cox, who was 29 when he went to prison, was spending his nights in the Yamhill County Jail because he had no other place to live. He was free to move about daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
The GPS device allowed community corrections to enforce the strict conditions of his post-prison supervision by tracking his whereabouts.

Let's reinvent the association meeting! OK, I accept that those words probably don't set your blood on fire to get out there and start tinkering. Reinvention is nowhere near as sexy as, say, innovation or creation, is it? Yet I would argue that reinvention is going to be the thing that will pull associations — and everyone — out of our recessionary rut.
I know, when you think of reinvention, likely the first thing to pop into your mind is "reinventing the wheel," and that's nothing to celebrate. In fact, it's a phrase denoting the futility of doing something that's already been done pretty much to perfection. (The wheel, according to Wikipedia, is the "archetype of human ingenuity.") But in reality, the wheel is getting reinvented all the time — otherwise, instead of riding on steel-belted radials from Michelin, our cars would roll on something that looks like it belongs on Fred Flintstone's ride. And who's to say there isn't something even better than the wheel waiting to be discovered?
Consider the old saw about putting lipstick on a pig — if you can bear thinking about it after the recent election hoo-haw about pigs, lipstick, pit bulls, and hockey moms. True, just slapping some cosmetic changes on something isn't much of a reinvention, but, to take the example literally, how about making that pig a puppet? Or, rather, a Muppet? And in addition to lipstick, giving her a "moi-first" attitude and some funky friends? Jim Henson did it at "Sesame Street," and he created a new world of learning for generations of kids.
What about the Nintendo Wii, that most-coveted object for everyone from grade-schoolers to yours truly? Video games are nothing new, after all, so why all the excitement over this particular gadget? Nintendo took a hard look at the oversaturated video gaming market and came up with something that appeals to more than the core video-gamer audience of adolescents by making it physically interactive, with an emphasis on "active."
More examples? What is Cirque du Soleil but a reinvention of the circus that brings in such unlikely elements as street performances, opera, ballet, and rock music, while deleting the standard circus elements of star performers and animal acts? What is Curves but a reinvention of the gym as a woman-friendly place where those of us who aren't quite so buff feel comfortable going to work out? In fact, when you look at most businesses that are holding their heads above water these days, you'll find organizations that have found ways to reinvent their genre.
That's why, even though the associations profiled in our cover story, beginning on page 18, aren't doing anything that hasn't been done before, what they are doing is nonetheless vital, and well worthy of being showcased in a "reinvention gala," complete with streamers and some (virtual) toasts. Reinvention is not secondary to innovation — it is innovation. And that's something to celebrate. Here's to the reinventors among us.

Dear 16-year-old Amanda,
Boy, do I have some things to tell you! I know you want to be fashionable. And I know you want to look cool, but there are some things you should know. You should know that no matter what you wear, you are beautiful. Please don't change yourself just to fit in. Figure out who you are and how to be comfortable in your own skin, because this is something that will last the rest of your life. You don't need to be a slave to fashion. Pick and choose what is flattering and fun, and ditch the rest. Here are a few examples of styles you've tried. Which ones did you really like?
The poodle perm. Spiral perms may have been all the rage, but poodle perms are not all that flattering. Don't you remember the first perm that burned off about half of your hair? That should have been your first clue that it really wasn't a good idea to get a big, puffy perm in your fine, straight hair.
The crimping iron. Speaking of fine straight hair, the crimping iron was terribly damaging. Instead of long, straight, healthy hair, you ended up with dried, fried, and crinkled locks. Your short, pixie cut is far more flattering and stylish than those crimped bouffants ever were.
The mall chick bangs. All I can say, is, what were you thinking? Did you really think it was cool to curl your bangs within an inch of their life, tease them like crazy and then douse them with Aqua-net? I know you wanted to be taller, but four inch high bangs probably wasn't the answer. You'll laugh about it later, I promise.
The concert outfit. I give you lots of props for having a certain style all your own. The black T-shirt, cut-off jean shorts, black tights, and combat boots was a pretty edgy look, even today. And I know you love tossing that flannel shirt over top - the black and white one. I liked when you tied it to give it a little shape, but buckling a belt overtop would have made it a little bit sleeker. You should give it a try.
Statement earrings. You're pretty well known for your statement earrings. The bigger the better, too. The large gold hoops, geometric shapes, even chandelier earrings. They were all great, except for that pair of neon peace signs…
When you get to be as old as me, you won't care that you wore crazy earrings, funky outfits, or had sky high bangs. You'll want to know that you are beautiful and special. And I promise, you are.

Answer me this: How could an individual who has pled guilty to at least four DUI charges and has another two pending against him while driving on a revoked license in West Virginia since 2004 (he would later obtain a valid driver's license in Pennsylvania, only to have it suspended) not get put behind bars years ago?
I ask because the aforementioned individual allegedly contributed to the death of five others in a horrific accident – some say one of the worst they've seen in years – on a West Virginia interstate. That accident took the life of a longtime friend of mine and his 12-year-old son.
The total DUI count now shown on the record of one Brian J. Stone, 32, of Gans, Pa., stands at 11 (four convictions, seven pending), which includes five counts of driving under the influence causing death and one count of driving under the influence by a driver with three or more DUI offenses.
Here's what happened. My friend, Courtney Evans, who I've known since I was 5 or 6 years old and played coach-pitched baseball and middle school and high school football with and was 31 years young, was traveling from his present home in Baltimore, Md. to our hometown in western West Virginia with his wife, Sheena, 29, their 3-year-old son, John, and Courtney's 12-year-old son, Sawyer, when a pickup, driven by Stone, ran into Courtney's sedan heading eastbound on I-68 near Morgantown, W.Va. The impact forced Courtney's car across the median, where it slammed head-on into a westbound SUV with seven occupants. The vehicles then caught fire. Three people in the SUV died and the four others remain hospitalized. Courtney's wife and youngest son survived, but also remain hospitalized.
And Stone, well, he claims he was rear-ended by another vehicle while on an entrance ramp of the interstate, causing him to lose control and slam into Courtney's vehicle, according to published reports in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Stone was uninjured in the crash and was found in the woods near the accident scene with "slurred speech and attempting to run," according to a KDKA-TV2/Pittsburgh video interview with Monongalia County Chief Deputy Al Kinser.
Stone was arrested on suspicion of DUI – his third time in four months – and is currently being held in West Virginia's North Central Regional Jail on a total bond of $1.35 million. He has a hearing on Thursday on these charges.
The three killed in the SUV include driver, Donnell Perry, 52, and his daughters, Jentil Jones Perry, 15, and Jacquesha Jones Perry, 13. Perry's wife, Marcia, his three other children, Justine, 18, Ayanna, 8, son Cory, 10, and a granddaughter, Mia Barnes, 1, were seriously injured.
Not only am I baffled about how Stone could obtain a valid driver's license, but so are authorities from both Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
According to an article in the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail, officials say under the terms of a multi-state compact, Stone would have been ineligible for a driver's license in Pennsylvania if he got it after his West Virginia license was revoked. If he got it before his West Virginia license, West Virginia officials should have been notified of his Pennsylvania license.
This costly breakdown of communication will likely result in the legislation in both states getting raked over the coals in a backlash from the communities wanting stricter laws for DUI offenders. And rightly so.
Stone has a DUI driving record the length of my arm. In 2002, 2004 and 2005, he was convicted of drunken driving in West Virginia. He was facing another drunken driving charge from April in Pennsylvania, according to the Post-Gazette, which suspended his current Pennsylvania license, which never should have been issued in the first place.
Steve Dale, a representative of the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles, said state officials think it's possible Stone got his Pennsylvania driver's license before his West Virginia license was revoked. That would mean Stone had two valid licenses for the last three years, since his West Virginia license was revoked in 2004.
Dale went on to say if that's the case, the West Virginia's Division of Motor Vehicles should have been notified that he had a Pennsylvania license when he applied for his West Virginia license.
"We have no record that Pennsylvania ever notified us that he ever got a license in Pennsylvania," Dale said in an interview with the Post-Gazette.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania both abide by the Driver's License Compact, which requires states to share information on applicants for driver's licenses. Under the terms of the compact, states also notify each other if the holder of a valid driver's license in one state applies for a license in another state.
"Theoretically, they shouldn't be able to get a license without us being notified, but we hear that it happens," Dale said.
Also, according to the Post-Gazette, Stone had been arrested at least seven times on suspicion of drunken driving – five in West Virginia and two in Pennsylvania – in the past five years.
Danielle Klinger, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said she couldn't comment specifically on the Stone situation, citing privacy concerns, according to a published report. However, she said that all drivers' license applicants in Pennsylvania have to turn over any other valid license they may have as part of the application process.
So, in the end, the indirect result of this license snafu is that five people are dead, including a dear friend of mine, and his son, who looked exactly like his daddy. And what's left are two families – make that three, since Sawyer's mother, Cyndi, also a childhood friend of mine, wasn't married to Courtney – torn apart.
As you read this I am on a plane to West Virginia to bury my friend and his son, two funerals that could have easily been prevented.

Central Michigan | Akron
For an insiders look at the 2013-14 Chippewas, click HERE to view the Central Michigan Men's Basketball MAC Guide. Find feature stories, coach and player bios, videos and much more.
• Central Michigan will look to snap a five-game losing streak and secure its first MAC win of the season on Saturday night when it hosts Akron in a 7 p.m. game at McGuirk Arena.
• On Wednesday, the Chippewas slipped to 0-5 in conference play with a 86-80 setback to Miami (Ohio) at Oxford.
• Akron upped its MAC record to 4-1 on Wednesday with a key 78-68 road win over Eastern Michigan.
• CMU is 5-4 at home this season while Akron owns a 4-3 road record.
• The Chippewas will kick off a two-game road trip next week, first traveling to Ohio for a 7 p.m. game on Wednesday, January 29 and then to in-state rival Western Michigan on Saturday, February 1 for a 2 p.m. matinee.
• Central Michigan possesses a 13-28 record in the all-time series with Akron.
• CMU has dropped six straight to Akron, last defeating the Zips in 2008 in Mount Pleasant, a 65-64 victory.
• Akron has won six of its last seven games, including a key 78-68 victory over Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti on January 22.
• The Zips' lone blemish in that stretch is a 75-61 home setback to Toledo.
• Akron is near the top of the conference rankings in 3-point field goal percentage (.348) and makes (7.3) as well as offensive rebounds (13.3) and offensive rebound percentage (.376).
• However, Akron struggles from the free throw line, shooting just 62% as a team.
• Senior forward Demetrius Treadwell leads Akron in scoring (13.7) and rebounding (8.1) while senior forward Quincy Diggs ranks second in both categories (12.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg).
The University of Akron announced on Dec. 14 that Director of Men's Basketball Operations Dan Peters began a personal leave of absence to seek treatment for pancreatic cancer. As part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness Weekend, our men's basketball staff will wear lapel pins with a purple ribbon – the color for pancreatic cancer awareness – and the words "4 Pete's Sake" in support of Coach Peters and his battle against pancreatic cancer. These pins will be worn by the men's basketball coaches of every school at which Peters has worked, as well as every school in the Mid-American Conference. The media, members of the college basketball community and fans are encouraged to tweet about "Pete" using the hashtag #4PetesSake.
The Central Michigan coaching staff will join basketball coaches across the country during the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits And Sneakers Awareness Weekend, January 24-26, as they unite to fight cancer and raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society. Wearing sneakers is much more than a fashion statement. It's a visual reminder that prevention is key when it comes to blocking cancer before it takes center court in our lives. Coaches and their staff are encouraged to wear sneakers with their game attire while coaching games during the weekend to:
• Raise awareness about the fight against cancer.
• Share the importance of nutrition and physical activity in reducing one's risk of the disease.
• Promote the American Cancer Society's free services for those facing cancer and their loved ones, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for information, help, and support.
Central Michigan's roster is dominated by youth, as 11 of 15 players are underclassmen (freshmen or sophomores). The Chippewas' starting line-up is comprised of four sophomores and one freshman. Of the total 3,400 minutes played by CMU this season, 2,862 or 84 percent have been logged by underclassmen while 85 percent (1,080-1270)of the team's points have come from either a freshman or sophomore.
Central Michigan is taking care of the basketball this season. CMU is averaging just 10.8 turnovers per game, which ranks second in the MAC. The Chippewas are fourth in the conference in turnover margin (+2.9) and second in assist/turnover ratio (1.2). Chris Fowler ranks second in the MAC with an assist/turnover ratio of 2.3 (88/39).
Chris Fowler has shown unequivocally this year that his standout freshman season was no fluke. The sophomore point guard is the MAC's third-leading scorer, averaging 17.2 points per game, ranks second in assist/turnover ratio (2.3) and is third in assists (5.2). The MVP of the Central Michigan Tournament, he has scored in double figures in 14 games, including eight 20-point efforts, and has led the team in scoring in 10 games. With 264 assists for his career, Fowler is just 22 shy of moving into the top 10 in the CMU record book. In 2012-13, Fowler set the program record for a freshman with 176 assists, which also ranks third all-time in single season history, securing him a spot on the All-MAC Freshman team. A starter of all 31 games, Fowler also averaged 8.1 points and 5.7 assists per game and had a sterling 2.2 assist/turnover ratio in his first collegiate season.
In addition to Chris Fowler, John Simons has been key to CMU's fortunes thus far in the 2013-14 season. The sophomore forward has recorded double-digit scoring performances in 11 of 17 games. Last year, he had just nine in 31 total games. In the season opener versus Manchester, he posted a career-high 27 points Manchester and the followed up with 14 at Bradley. He has scored in double figures in seven of the last nine games entering the match-up with Akron. The sophomore has also led CMU in rebounding in 10 of the 17 games this season. He ranks 11th in the MAC in rebounding (6.4) and 23rd in scoring (11.1). By comparison, Simons averaged 7.4 ppg and 4.9 rpg last season.
While several members of the freshman class have made an immediate impact this season, none has been as sizeable as the one made by Braylon Rayson. The speedy and cat-quick Rayson has given Keno Davis not just key minutes off the bench to spell Chris Fowler at point guard or as a starter in the back court, but he has given the Chippewas another scoring threat. The Texas native is third on the team in scoring, averaging 9.5 points per game. At the Central Michigan Tournament, Rayson scored a total of 43 points in three games, including a career-high 18 in a win over Austin Peay. Versus Marygrove, Rayson went off for a career-high 27, shooting 69 percent from the field.
In the Chippewas' 127-44 rout of Marygrove in the non-conference finale, CMU broke the program record for largest margin of victory and tied the mark for most points in the game. The 83-point margin of victory easily topped the previous high of 71, set in a 107-36 win over Hillsdale on February 28, 1963. The Chippewas also reached the 127-point milestone in a victory over Oakland on December 3, 1987. Individually, five players established new career highs in scoring, led by freshman guard Braylon Rayson, who tallied a game-high 27 points. Rayson's point total was just four shy of the McGuirk Arena record of 31, set by Kyle Randall in 2013.
With the 127-44 victory over Marygrove, CMU finished the non-conference portion of its schedule with seven wins for the second consecutive year. In 2012-13, in his first season at Central Michigan, Keno Davis became only the second coach in the program's Division I era to win seven non-conference games and the first to do so in his first year at the helm.
In four wins this season, CMU has lit up the scoreboard, posting 90 or more points. In a span of three victories in late November, the Chippewas showed they don't necessarily need to be offensively prolific to win, claiming close victories while scoring in the 60s. In late November-early December, CMU downed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on the road, 68-64, then beat Jacksonville State at home, 66-61, and topped SIU Edwardsville, 65-64, on the road.
CMU captured the title at its home tournament in late November, scoring 90 points in wins over Austin Peay and Cal State Northridge to keep the championship trophy in Mount Pleasant. Chris Fowler earned tournament MVP honors while Blake Hibbitts was named to the all-tournament team. Braylon Rayson was also key to the claiming the title, scoring 43 points in three games.
Central Michigan showed a knack for coming up with clutch plays in crunch time at the end of games early on in 2013-14. In a stretch of three games, the Chippewas claimed wins by a total of 10 points. Against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Blake Hibbitts knocked down a go-ahead three-pointer with 13 seconds remaining and Austin Keel made two free throws to secure the 68-64 win. Versus Jacksonville State, Hibbitts once again took center stage, hitting a key three-pointer and then sinking two free throws late to salt away a 66-61 victory. At SIU Edwardsville, Chris Fowler played the role of hero, hitting a game-winning shot with 6.2 seconds remaining.
Central Michigan's current roster contains nine student-athletes who hail from the state of Michigan, which is more than any other Division I institution in the state, ranking ahead of Michigan State (7), Eastern Michigan (7), Western Michigan (7) and Michigan (2).
Hard work has also paid off for the Chippewas in the classroom, as the team was one of only 19 NCAA Division I programs to receive the Team Academic Excellence Award from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Only one of two Mid-American Conference teams to earn the honor, which is based on the academic standing during the 2012-13 season, the award recognizes outstanding academic achievement by a team with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better. That success has continued this year as following the fall term, a record 10 student-athletes posted above a 3.0 grade point average during the fall term. Blake Hibbitts led the way with a 4.0 while senior forward Zach Saylor (3.50), sophomore guard Austin Stewart (3.48) and Fowler (3.44) also had strong academic semesters.
Keno and his father, Tom, are among the most successful father-son coaching duos in NCAA history. In 2008, Keno joined his father (Iowa, 1987) as the NCAA's first father-son combination to capture national coach of the year awards. Dr. Tom compiled 597 wins over a 32-year career, and Keno has added 92 as the pair has combined for a 689-442 record and a 61 winning percentage, which ranks 11th among father-son combinations.
Sophomore guard Chris Fowler is a candidate for the Allstate NABC Good Works Team, an honor that recognizes student-athletes who make outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement and embody the true spirit of "teamwork" and "giving back."
The sophomore sensation is the MAC's third-leading scorer, averaging 17.2 points per game, ranks second in assist/turnover ratio (2.3) and is third in assists (5.2). The MVP of the Central Michigan Tournament, he has scored in double figures in 14 games, including eight 20-point efforts, and has led the team in scoring in 10 games.
Fowler embodies the definition of a true student-athlete, as the excellence he has achieved on the basketball court is equaled by his accomplishments in the classroom. Fowler possesses a 3.43 cumulative GPA, including two semesters in which he averaged above a 3.50. During the fall of 2012, he was honored on the Dean's List.
Despite the number of demands placed on a student-athlete, Fowler makes the time to take part in various community service activities. He worked with the Special OIympics basketball team last December, putting the athletes through drills while providing pointers on how to improve. He also volunteered with Meals on Wheels during the holidays, delivering food to at-risk seniors.
CMU has signed Luke Meyer, a 6-10, 205 forward from Addison High School, to a National Letter of Intent. He earned Class C first team all-state honors from the Associated Press and the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan as a junior last year, averaging 18.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.0 blocks. The Addison, Mich. native was also named to the Jackson Citizen Patriot Dream Team and was the Adrian Daily Telegram Player of the Year for the 2012-13 season.

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #19
"An Eye for an Eye"
writer: Stan Lee
pencils: Dick Ayers
inks: Frank Ray
letters: S. Rosen
grade: B+
If the end of the previous issue and the cover and solicitation for this one left you expecting a revenge-obsessed Nick Fury on the edge, you're bound to be a little disappointed. Instead of watching the impulsive act of a desperate man, we merely watch Fury pushing the men too hard through training once again (as he did when Junior died), disobey orders to go on a secret mission of vengeance, and then get a final one-on-one battle with the German officer responsible for the bombing raid that killed Pam with far less blood-thirst and vengeance than you might expect. Nick drops his gun to duke it out with the guy, allowing the officer to pull a gun and prove he has no scruples thus further justifying any noble action Nick takes against him, and even in spite of this, his final demise is caused by gravity and poor planning -- not Nick. So I'd hardly call this "the roaring revenge of Nick Fury". Maybe it was a fear for the comics code, but I feel Nick could have taken a bigger grief-induced dive over the deep end of vengeance in this one, finally pulling back and finding the strength to be a hero at the last moment.
That said, I did like the level of concern and support the Howlers attempt to provide to Fury in this issue, as well as that final panel when Nick visits Pam's grave.
While the vengeance and grief aspects of this issue didn't live up to their potential, I did enjoy watching Nick and the Howlers have to surreptitiously work within their own organization the way they normally infiltrate German ranks. Walking into that intelligence room and having Dino work information out of a young woman there felt far more exciting than Nick's absurd climactic battle aboard a WWI bi plane.
Also worth mentioning (or is it?) That Stan arbitrarily inserts the return of Hans and his Nazi sympathizing father who is secretly Agent X in this story (from Sgt. Fury #15). It absolutely felt forced, and I never liked these characters to begin with.
Art-wise, Ayers still feels like he's actually trying in this issue, providing some truly rich, dramatic shots in the issue, though Frank Ray's inks lack the flair and embellishment that Chic Stone's did last issue, and the anonymous colorist who made such ambitious decisions in drenching certain characters in hues of red last issue begins to do it far more indiscriminately this time around, arbitrarily drenching some characters in total red for no seeming reason. Apropo of this, the letters column appears to explain why the colorist goes uncredited in these issues, implying that he/she is outsourced and not part of the Marvel staff. Here's what was said:
"Stevey, we only write and draw the stories! Then, the pages go to the engraver--then the printer! Somewhere along the way, some saboteur seems to get his hands on every ish and make a million bone-headed mistakes such as the ones you mentioned. We hate to pass the buck, but honestly, we get just as burned up about all the coloring errors as you do. But we have so many mags going thru the presses so quickly, that we're never able to fix them up in time!"
I suppose this could be referencing the coloring process only and not the work of the colorist him/herself. Any insight on this, folks?
Minor details: I believe this is the first time The Pig 'n Whistle is named. I'll have to double check.
Plot synopsis in one long sentence: Nick is pushing his crew too hard after the death of Pam Hawley, Captain Sawyers gives them a furlough to recuperate (especially Nick), Nick decides to use the time to plan a secret mission to get revenge against the man who ordered the attack that killed Pam, the Howlers want in, and they do it.
Pretty solid issue, but not as great as it should have been.

So I am five years old and my father decided that I should learn to be a boy. This meant that when he played with an engine I had to stand beside him and hand on the tools he wanted. I learnt a lot while this phase lasted.
Then the day came when my mother said "You go to school tomorrow". School? I knew my sister was at school but somehow I thought I wouldn't be doing the same thing as her because she was Dad's pet. Anyway what was school? Nobody told me but the next morning I trotted of to school with my mother.
Dress had changed. I now had dresses to my knees and elastic in the leg bloomers. Ball bouncing was allowed and although on Sunday one wore one's best the whole idea was relaxed. Whilst church was well kept on Sunday, Sunday school was a recognised must. Having a Catholic father and a Quaker mother I was forever being switched around. My sister remained High Church even when she was grown up. I became all and nothing. Just had faith.
We sat on two hard chairs whilst all around us kids ran and shouted and screamed. Some other mothers just stood and chatted not heeding the noise.
Suddenly a bell rang and like magic everyone disappeared. Just a tall big lady was left and holding out her hand she said "Come with me". I wasn't going to be magicked away by anyone so I dived for a door that was open at the side of a platform. This platform I later learnt was at the end of the hall and had storage under it for chairs and things. It was a hideaway for me as it was low and the big lady couldn't get in. The lady and my mother tried to talk me out but I wasn't going to be tricked into disappearing like those other kids.
After vain efforts by others a soft voiced person crawled through the door and came to sit by me. She didn't touch me and though I was ready to fight she talked me into expressing my fears. When she learnt that I refused to be magicked. She explained the children were only in classrooms being taught and had not disappeared. I felt I could trust her and left my hideaway holding her hand. Of course mother started slapping me and calling me a naughty girl but the soft voice soon put a stop to that and held me tightly to her side.
After some discussion I was allowed to leave with Miss Golding holding me by the hand and gently explaining everything as we walked. We visited rooms with lots of kids in them and finally she urged me to go and play with some of them. This was hard for me to do as I had never been free to mix with other children. My mother always said that other children brought colds and measles etc. and wouldn't let me play with them.
All went well, and I liked school, until my first belting at home for something. I can't remember what, when my dear Miss Goldy reported bruising to the headmistress. The next I knew two priests arrived at our front door to talk to my father. His roar and declaring that what he did with his family was his business sent them on their way. In those days there was no law against cruelty to children or wives. They were a man's possessions. Of course I collected another smacking for complaining. It wasn't until later years that I learned my father was a catholic. Lapsed but still a catholic.
Life went on and I became quite fond of school and learnt to mix with other kids. All holidays were spent in Devon and it became my favourite place. More like home than home.
I had developed a liking for words and started to write poetry. I can't remember what but suddenly I was absorbed in writing a play. At eight years old it must have been drivel but I was proud of it. Then calamity, my father found it. Some of his friends were visiting and he pulled me out of bed, stood me in front of these friends and commanded me to read my play. With tears of fright pouring down my face I stood in my nightdress and read it right through. All the time he made snide remarks and laughed. Then he snatched my work from me and threw it on the burning fire.
As it burned I cried but his relentless voice ordered me back to bed and to "Never write such rubbish again". Only too pleased to escape without a smacking, I fled to my bed declaring my hate for the monster and that I would never write again.
Over my bed hung a picture of Jesus with arms reaching out and beside him an Angel. I always told "Him" of my troubles and asked for help. That picture still stays in my mind and I still talk to "Him".
My main source of play was a box of screws. They stood on their heads and became anything I desired. My mother said I would sit all morning just looking at them with perhaps a few moves now and again. At one point she tried to take them away from me but I howled so loudly she gave them back. She didn't understand that when I was just looking, all kinds of teaching, battles and parties were going on in my head. The leader was always a big brass screw, shiny and gold. I couldn't write yet but the stories were there even then.
